The new addition


For a few months now Stu has been talking about getting a dog. After several attempts to adopt a pet and countless hours online, he found the right one this past weekend. The story is quite remarkable ...
Stu went to Petsmart last weekend to take a look at some puppies they had up for adoption. He noticed this one female lab/German shepherd mix right away and spent some time playing with her. He liked her a lot but decided to give it a week to make sure she was the right one.
While he was walking around the store, he saw the dog again walking with her foster dad, so he stopped and played with her. He walked around a bit more then walked out to his car and the dog was sitting right next to his car. It turns out that the foster dad had parked right next to Stu! So Stu played with the dog again and then went home.
When he got back to his house, he was opening a package when he accidentally sliced his finger open. While he was waiting for his friend to come pick him up and take him to the hospital to get a few stitches, he saw the dog again ... In another amazing coincidence, Stu found out that the foster dad lives two doors down from him! Needless to say, he decided that this was the dog for him.
She is about 10 weeks old and a black lab/German shepherd mix (we think). She is very sweet and should get to be about 65 lbs. Stu has been great with her and is deciding on a name any day now. My vote is for Sam (short for Samantha). What do you think?
